Theatrical Release:02-11-2007
Synopsis: A dignified send-off for a loved one erupts into uproarious chaos when romance, jealousy, in-laws, hallucinogens, dark secrets, life-long yearnings and a spot of bold blackmail all collide in the... [More]

Reviews for Death at a Funeral
Who knew the man behind Miss Piggy (literally) did English humor so well?

Oz goes back to the well and taps into British humor, which has been so influential over the years for him, going back to The Muppet Show" in the 70s
08/17/08
It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again.
03/04/08
This Funeral won't leave audiences in a mournful state.
02/26/08
For farce to work well, the plotting needs to be watertight, whereas here the sheer excess of characters fails entirely to cover up this film's flimsy underpinnings.
10/30/07
Feels strained.
10/28/07
Goofy burial digs up family secrets; not for kids.
10/22/07
Death at a Funeral might have been made in the 1960s, not to be released until well past its stale date.
10/12/07
The film begins with a vaguely tired joke, but this just makes what follows that much more delicious.
10/12/07
Weighing in at a brisk 90 minutes, the picture does have the advantage of brevity, and on screen no less than off, there's much to be said for a quick send-off.

Very funny and entertaining, a sometimes-dark comedy somewhere between Four Weddings and a Funeral and Meet the Parents.

A total misfire from director Frank Oz, whose endeavours to deliver black humour wobbles fatally. With its excellent British cast, it's not all bad, but the plot is hackneyed, the tone is wrong, and what aspires to be funny leaves us embarrassed
10/06/07
It's a British comedy that shows the minor miracles that can be performed with a cast of (mostly) British actors, a drawing room, and a funny idea.
09/21/07
I nearly died laughing.
09/13/07
Once everything is finally in place, Death at a Funeral springs to comedic life with such speed and assurance that it's hard to complain.
09/12/07
The stench of desperation wafts from the screen, as Craig and Oz randomly grasp at one hackneyed device after another ...
09/11/07
Another Frank Oz comedy with a mean streak, this time with such delights as an old man defecating in his wheelchair.
09/03/07
Death at a Funeral may be the funniest movie ever set in such a deadly serious setting.
